Nice quiz. Schubert's Fantasia is one of my favourite works for piano 4-hands, but I didn't get it, because your answer begins with "P", not "D"! If you accept "Duet" as a type-in, I think that will improve things. Never heard of the N and Y answers, so those are interesting to learn.
Thank you. Of course you're right, I should have indicated that "duet" was an accepted answer. I will correct that after I've had a chance to determine if there are other issues. So glad to hear you love the "Fantasia." I actually performed it publically many years ago. It's a marvelous work of art.
Please keep an eye out for my other quizzes. (The first one has been resubmitted to correct a couple of typos, but the original is still out there. My favorite that I hope to submit soon is Classical Music-the rest of the story"
Glad you enjoyed it! Actually T's name is spelled with the 'w' in a number of sources, including Maurice Hinson's 2nd edition of "Guide to the Pianist's Repertoire," published by Indiana University. I always just try both when taking quizzes, and I think I have entered him both ways in other quizzes.
I'm grateful that, so far, I've not had protests for including Vincent Youmans in a classical music quiz. Tricky to come up with original Y's.
Please accept the alternative spelling ending in V for the composer beginning with R (saying it this way so as not to give away who it is, although it could be quite obvious still)
Also, the Schubert question suggests the answer will start with “D,” but it starts with “P.” I know this work is a piano duo, but trying to figure out what will trigger the answer is hard to guess.
Accepting both “Claire” and “Clair” when followed by “de lune” would also be helpful.
You've made a valid point here. I actually thought I had corrected that problem 3 years ago, but I did it wrong....didn't really understand how to handle type-ins when a newby! While 'duet' is a more general term than I would like to use for the composition, it's quite misleading to place it as a 'D' word if 'duet' is not accepted. I think I've finally fixed that issue.
Because the question was phrased with plurals- sharps and flats, it is grammatically correct to use the plural in the answer. However, there is certainly no good reason for the singular not to be accepted. I will change that.

Really appreciate your input
Also added a caveat about two of the questions in hopes of averting complaints!

I added a bit more time.
Thanks for the comment.
